Title: Standard for Soft Infant and Toddler Carriers
Abstract: Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. The Commission is directed to assess the effectiveness of applicable voluntary standards, and in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate consumer product safety standards that are substantially the same as the voluntary standard or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission determines that more stringent standards would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The CPSIA requires that not later than August 14, 2009, the Commission begin rulemaking for at least two categories of durable infant or toddler products and promulgate two such standards every 6 months thereafter. The Commission proposed a consumer product safety standard for soft infant and toddler carriers as part of this series of standards for durable infant and toddler products. Staff sent a briefing package with a draft notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to the Commission on March 13, 2013. The Commission voted 2-1 to approve publication in the Federal Register. The comment period ended on June 19, 2013. Following review of the comments, staff will send to the Commission for consideration a briefing package on the final rule.
